Chapter 201 Steamed Buns
Well, at this time, she still has to go through the motions.
Since she got the message, she should go quickly.
She has to go sooner or later, no need to drag it out.
Xiao Lili pouted and sat on the front handlebar of the bicycle. This is really true. She hasn't lived here for two days, and she was sent back.
Liu Qingqing held her son and sat on the back seat of the car: "Okay, big brother."
Liu Dongfang glanced at the left handlebar and saw a basket full of steamed buns.
On the right handlebar were fruits wrapped in brown paper - square pastry, fried sugar, and Changbai cake.
He was trembling in his heart.
The sister prepared so much, this situation seemed familiar...
Liu Qingqing adhered to the principle that gifts are not expensive, but they should be plentiful.
In terms of money, the old couple of the Song family must have no shortage of money. If she gave more money, it would not only be insincere, but also outsiders would not notice it.
This is not because she is stingy.
According to the current customs and the times, the gifts for the New Year and the New Year are all about steamed buns.
Those with good conditions can buy a few kilograms of white flour steamed buns.
That is the best.
Those with poor conditions can only buy steamed buns made of two kilograms of flour, or maybe three or four kilograms of flour.
Her white flour steamed buns stood upright in the basket, and everyone in the village had to look at them and praise them.
Moreover, she also carried fruits.
As soon as the bicycle entered the village, villagers who were good at news would stick their heads out from their doors or sticks.
"Oh, it's the east, eh, it's to pick up the grass."
Liu Qingqing signaled her elder brother to slow down: "Hey, Second Aunt Zhao, are you picking the vegetables?"
"Well, it's getting cold, if we don't hurry up, we'll have to close the garden as soon as the frost comes. Are you back to see your mother-in-law? You brought a lot of things."
"Didn't my elder brother go to the city early in the morning to inform me, so I hurried back. Second Aunt, tell me how you did it, there was nothing wrong when you came here two days ago." Liu Qingqing sighed.
Aunt Zhao's sister-in-law from the next courtyard heard the commotion and joined in: "Qingcao is back. You helped the village a lot last time. The village chief said that when you were there on the day of grain delivery, no one in our village had to go hungry." The "supplementary grain" prepared was saved, and each household could get at least an extra 10 or 20 kilograms.
"Look at you, Auntie. We are all from the same village. Why are you being polite?"
"Qingcao is really promising. Yes, are we going to Old Song's house today? I went to see her yesterday. Old Song's wife is in a serious condition. Others with this disease will be paralyzed after at least half a year. This time, she is more serious than others. Your father-in-law was very generous. He borrowed a bullock cart to take her to the city for treatment yesterday, but it was useless. He prescribed some medicine and took her back."
Zhao The second aunt shook her head: "Why should I be reluctant? The old couple of the Song family are not short of money. This disease is common in our village. If they don't kill people, they will just drag down the living."
Liu Qingqing also sighed: "We are far away from home, and it is not easy for me to come here this time. Although Jinglin is the only one who makes money, he must save some money for the elderly."
The two sisters-in-law of the Zhao family were envious. Where can you find such a good daughter-in-law.
Liu Qingqing cooperated and sighed again. She had a plan in her mind before coming here. Today, she must be very angry.
After a while of greetings, the three people in the car continued to move forward.
Xiao Lili jumped down as soon as she entered the village.
She went home without looking back.
That big bar is not something that anyone can ride, at least not for her small body. I felt that my butt would be bruised.
After walking and stopping for a while, we arrived at the door of Old Song's house. It should have taken five or six minutes to walk, but it took half an hour to ride the bike.
The girl chatted with everyone she met. She was just like her mother.
Chapter 202 Still able to calm down now
Old Song was worried when he saw the old woman paralyzed on the bed.
"Dad, why don't you ask your sister-in-law to come back at this time?" Song Jingchun asked tentatively.
Old Song glanced at him. The eldest daughter-in-law was now urinating every day and only knew how to wipe her tears, but she exposed her eldest son.
"Old family, cook some porridge for your mother later." She couldn't eat anything hard like this now.
Tian Cuixiang moved her butt with a squeak.
This was a start, and she would have to do it in the future.
As soon as Liu Qingqing entered the room, Tian Cuixiang stood up slowly and sat back immediately.
Old Song nodded in his heart when he saw the person coming in. With the behavior of the second daughter-in-law, could anyone argue with her?
Although, it's all superficial work, and it looks good to outsiders.
"Dad, I heard the news and rushed back early in the morning. What's wrong? What's wrong with Mom?"
Old Song: ...
"It's nothing. Old people always have this or that problem." Old Song saw the two baskets of things Liu Qingqing put on the table. The second daughter-in-law really knows how to behave.
Liu Qingqing nodded: "Dad, you have to pay attention too. Even if you don't work, the money we have collected is enough for you two to spend in a year. Don't be reluctant to eat and drink."
Song Jingchun's mouth moved. He forgot about it. The second son still gave money every year.
Originally, I thought that the second son's family would come back to discuss the issue of supporting the elderly...
After several times before, Tian Cuixiang also knew that she couldn't win over her sister-in-law.
She didn't have the eloquence, but she was a bit talkative: "Sister-in-law, it's rare for you to come back. Mother can only drink some thin liquid this time, you can go and make some to show your filial piety."
After saying that, she saw Liu Qingqing on the opposite side raised her eyebrows, and she felt a little regretful...
"Sister-in-law, when we separated, didn't we agree that those who have money would contribute money, and those who have strength would contribute strength? What's the matter? I don't need you normally, so it's hard for you to contribute a little?"
Tian Cuixiang quickly dodged, patted her butt and ran to the kitchen.
Although Mrs. Song's legs and feet were not working well and her mouth could not speak a complete sentence, her brain was fine.
When the second daughter-in-law came in, she was talking about something else and knocking on this and that.
She felt that her blood was surging and her head was dizzy again.
When she turned around to look at the old man, she was even angrier.
This damn old man is busy teasing his grandson and doesn't care about anything else.
Old Song didn't care about his grandson in the first place. Last time, he had a fight with a group of old women competing for his attention.
Shouldn't he seize the opportunity now?
Song Jingchun stood aside for a while, and then left when he felt bored.
In the kitchen, Tian Cuixiang was still cleaning up the pots and pans, venting her dissatisfaction.
Liu Qingqing glanced at her and smiled, "It's not convenient for you to serve your mother now that she is paralyzed. Although we just said that those who have money should pay and those who have strength should work hard, it's inevitable that my sister-in-law is angry because she only works hard but doesn't get any benefits."
She pointed to the noise in the kitchen.
Old Song followed her and frowned.
There were only a few plates and bowls in the house, and she would knock them all until her teeth broke.
"Old man, what's wrong? Are you angry??"
The kitchen was quiet for a moment, and the sound of banging became quieter.
Old Song felt a little upset. If the old woman became paralyzed, it would be obvious that the children would not be able to be relied on.
Now he has good arms and legs and can calm down.
He is really worried about himself, what will he do when something happens to him.
Chapter 203 Eating Alone
Liu Qingqing pulled a stool and sat beside the table: "Dad, as a daughter-in-law, I have no objection to supporting the old man. It is natural to support the old man. But others may think differently. You must take good care of the money, so that the elder sister-in-law and others can take better care of them."
Some things don't need to be said clearly, and everyone understands.
It's just a few dollars hanging in front of her like a carrot, and Tian Cuixiang is happy to help for the money.
Old Song replied, "You are a filial child, second son."
Liu Qingqing slightly bent her lips to show humility: "Dad, this is what I should do, but you are not young anymore, don't work so hard in the future, if you really can't, don't go. The annual festival gifts from elder brother and his family are replaced with food, which is enough for you two to eat."
Old Song nodded, it was indeed true.
He had said long ago that the couple had money in their hands, so they were not afraid of their son's unfilial behavior.
It was just that the old woman didn't understand, and she was making trouble all the time.
If it weren't for him, the old man, who was still strong, what would she do now?
It's not as good as being proud of yourself.
He knew that even among children, it was rare for a few to serve their parents sincerely.
It's okay to spend money to enjoy, but you have to ask for those filial piety.
Next year, without my wife working, there will definitely not be enough food...
After speaking, Zhen Liuchalichaqiqing sat aside to look through the things he brought.
There was a black sesame snack in the fruit, and there was only this one.
Liu Qingqing took it out and handed it to Old Song: "Dad, please try this snack."
Old Song waved his hands repeatedly: "Give it to the child, I don't need it."
"Dad, Xiangyang can't eat it yet, so don't give in if I give it to you. This black sesame is good for your health, and there is a medicinal recipe in it. It's a rare thing."
Mrs. Song was dizzy with anger and couldn't speak, so she closed her eyes long ago.
At this time, he heard what the two said, and his heart was in turmoil again.
Moreover, she had already laid down, but the old man actually ignored her and started to eat alone? ? ?
He wanted to speak, but then he thought that no one would understand his mumbling words, and it would also make his second daughter-in-law laugh. He closed his mouth again.
When Old Song heard that it was a recipe for medicinal food, he looked up at the black snacks on the side of the table. It didn't look very good.
But it was called medicinal food, and it sounded extraordinary.
He was a little scared by the old woman this time, and he really had to replenish himself. Old Song raised his hand and took a bite.
...
It didn't taste good either!
After thinking about it, since it was a medicinal food, how could something with medicine taste good?
Old Song ate the small snack silently.
Liu Qingqing watched him eat it and smiled.
There are some small pills mixed in it.
Although such a small amount will not have a significant effect.
But it is always good to maintain it.
The old lady has collapsed. If Song's father collapses again, she will have to deal with the old man Song and his wife in the future.
That's too troublesome and too annoying.
Besides, Song's father is a remarkable person in the whole village.
Getting along with him can maintain a basic balance.
I didn't stay here for long. The meaning and the things were delivered.
Tian Cuixiang brought the cooked porridge, and Liu Qingqing left with the child.
"Dad, you guys eat first, I'll come over when I have time."
"Hey, okay, just hold the child and go slowly." Old Song sent his grandson to the hospital, looking at him with a little reluctance.
Chapter 204 Money Comes Money Comes
After watching Liu Qingqing walk away, Old Song turned around and saw Tian Cuixiang who was about to leave.
"Old man's wife, I saw it early in the morning. You don't want to serve me? That's fine. Call the old man over later. You also pay 100 yuan a year for the old man's support. I will spend some money to find someone to help take care of the old woman, so you don't have to ask for money." Old Song walked into the house with his hands behind his back, leaving Tian Cuixiang with his back.
Before giving sweet treats, you still have to hit her with a stick first.
Tian Cuixiang cursed in her heart, ran two steps quickly, and went home to call Song Jingchun...
After leaving Old Song's house, Liu Qingqing went back to see Old Lady Liu.
Sister-in-law Ping Xianghong, holding a two-month-old baby, also came to visit.
Liu Dongfang's new son is called Liu Xuejun.
It is a name that is more in line with the times.
At this time, there are endless students, such as Xuebing, Xuejun, and Xuehong, and their number is as large as Zihan, Zixuan, Yuxuan, and Haoran in later generations.
Every era has its special mark.
Liu Qingqing didn't sit for long, and she had been tossed around for a small day.
Even if she didn't do anything when visiting relatives, she felt very tired, and she wanted to go home and lie down for a while.
Xiao Lili wanted to follow, but her mother looked at her and stopped.
Liu Qingqing smiled and comforted: "It's okay, aunt will wait for you to have a holiday before going."
Xiao Lili nodded frequently and gave her mother a proud expression.
I got on my eldest brother's bicycle again and returned the same way.
After thinking for a while, Old Lady Liu still didn't follow him back immediately.
"Old lady, wait for me to dry the vegetables and I will come to you after I get the food."
Liu Qingqing shook Song Xiangyang's chubby hand in the back seat: "Okay, you can go whenever you want."
"Hey, hey, hey, I know." Old Lady Liu was very happy when she saw the old Xu family next door looking out to see the excitement.
She turned her head and showed off: "Well, my old lady misses me. Hey, there is really a lot of work to do in this family. How about I go and live there for a while today? Sister Xu, you must say, this city is really good for people. Look at my face. Are there fewer wrinkles? Right here, right here."
Old Mrs. Xu laughed perfunctorily: "That's great. I have a lot of work to do in the backyard, so I won't tell you more."
"It's okay, I have work to do in the backyard too. Let's go together. It's the same in the backyard. There's just a stick between us, so we can chat." Old Mrs. Liu waved her hand and asked her to go together.
Old Mrs. Xu choked: "I'll go back to the house to drink some water first. I'm thirsty after working for too long." After saying that, she turned around and went into the house.
It's really unlucky to be caught by Old Lady Liu every day.
Forced to accept her boasting.
———————————
After returning to Wuning, Liu Qingqing was free from worries.
Now she just needs to ship goods and lie down.
The money will come in little by little.
As for Xiao Song, he has been deprived of the right to use the space.
Because he started to talk nonsense recently.
In addition, since returning to Wuning, there have been people at home.
Xiao Song hasn't been to the space for a while. With his small brain capacity, he has long forgotten it.
Liu Qingqing stopped showing off and took him in.
The small nest outside is well decorated and comfortable to live in.
Recently, Song Xiangyang looked at the toys in the room and felt familiar and strange at the same time.
But he has too many toys now.
Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, he happily climbed onto the donkey.
Chapter 205 Green
Little Song Xiangyang has a playmate recently.
It's Xu Zhenxing, the kid from Fu Meili's family.
The two kids are less than two months old and they can play together.
It's probably a feature of the era. The names in the 1970s and 1980s are too specific.
None of the kids around him has a better name than his father.
"Earlier, they said they would arrange a marriage for the baby. I didn't expect that both kids would be boys. Alas."
Fu Meili felt a little regretful.
Liu Qingqing felt that Fu Meili was probably following a doting script. In this era, parents dote on their children, families don't favor boys over girls, and living conditions are good.
The person she is going to marry is a simple and good man.
There are some ideas in the in-laws' family that favor boys over girls, but Fu Meili had a son in her first pregnancy, and her mother-in-law wanted to worship her.
With this perfect sister, oh, this life is like four second-years and two kings.
"What's the point of arranging a baby marriage? It's a different era. If the children have their own ideas, they can understand them when they grow up. Mothers should not interfere."
Fu Meili walked to the two children: "I like your son. He is so handsome. Besides, if my daughter marries someone else, I will be worried. If I become your daughter-in-law, I will definitely enjoy a good life."
"You think too far ahead. Where can I find a daughter-in-law?"
Fu Meili stroked her flat belly happily: "Here."
Liu Qingqing: stunned.
The speed of giving birth to children one by one is simply amazing.
"Are you in a hurry to take the exam or what? Don't you rest your stomach?"
Fu Meili glanced at her: "The eldest is already one year old. I am pregnant at a normal speed. Others get pregnant after the confinement period."
Liu Qingqing's mind was extremely complicated. She was incompatible with her friends in cognition. She was out of date.
Looking at the two children playing happily, Fu Meili came over again: "Why don't you go back? It's not good for the couple to be together all the time. Hurry up and have another one. I heard that if you let them have three now, two in two years will be enough..."
Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes: "Song Jinglin is still on a mission. It doesn't matter where I am."
Comrade Da Song didn't come back, and she was pregnant with a child. Oh my god, it's green.
Fu Meili smiled awkwardly: "I forgot, to be honest, you have to hurry up."
Old Song from Qingqing's family really has no sense of existence, so she always forgets about this.
There has been no news about Song Jinglin for a long time, and she has to say that she still misses him a little.
After all, the two of them are quite compatible in life and everything else.
And the child lost his father at a young age, which is not good for his growth...
But these are just occasional thoughts.
She thinks this life is so good, it is exactly what she wants.
Even in the future, a woman can be very powerful and rich. If she does not get married and just wants to have children and raise them by herself.
Then the rumors are thrown into her ears by tons.
Not to mention this era.
Her current life is that she has money, leisure, and children.
There is a man in the background.
You can pull him out when you need him.
Even if he is away from home for a long time, his status is enough to protect her.
When his son needs his father, he will be very honored to mention him.
It is both a show and not a hindrance.
Oh, perfect.
Liu Qingqing and her mother are living happily in Wuning.
Guo Fengjuan wrote a letter to inform them that the house has been repaired long ago.
However, Liu Qingqing was not in a hurry to go back, because the newly repaired house might not be good for the children (all excuses).
Guo Fengjuan held the letter and looked at her own house, and felt that it was okay.
I have never heard of this saying.
Chapter 206 Progress Bar
Liu Qingqing made a lot of money during the New Year.
No matter whether in the city or in the village, everyone is thinking about having a good New Year.
There seems to be a saying that if you eat coarse food, quarrel at home, and cry children during the New Year, the family will be uneasy for the whole year.
On the contrary, if the New Year is good, the whole year will be prosperous.
Liu Qingqing thinks there is no basis for this. When she was a child, she was beaten every year, but she still lived the same life.
She just inexplicably often touches the minefield of her mother.
Even if she is not allowed to say "too much food", she can't help but say it.
The main reason is that her mother really cooks a lot of food...
The ancestors also said that children should not be beaten during the New Year, but she still gets beaten every year.
But probably based on a beautiful spiritual sustenance, the Chinese New Year is always the best day of the year for every family.
After the Little New Year, the money for the New Year is considered to be all earned. Whether in the village or in the city, few people buy anything.
Old Mrs. Liu received the pork and mutton distributed by the production team, and then returned to the base of the old lady's house with food and New Year's goods.
She hasn't finished listening to the gossip series, and I don't know if she can keep up with the progress bar.
Going to the old lady's house for the New Year will not be a loss. The food at the old lady's house is good and varied.
Life is not bad.
She was too lazy to put the annoying things of the second brother and his wife into a pile.
"Old lady, you have prepared so many New Year's goods." Old Lady Liu shuttled back and forth between the lower shed and the kitchen, with stars in her eyes and the little man in her heart covering his mouth with laughter.
With my mother in the house, it feels like there are several more people, it's very lively.
Old Lady Liu didn't care about anything else. She stuffed the things in her hands into the water tank in the yard, clapped her hands and went to Old Zhao's house. If she didn't go to ask about it, the hot gossip would be gone.
"Old lady, I'm going to visit your aunt Zhao and will be back soon."
Liu Qingqing smiled and waved: "Okay, grab a handful of melon seeds before going?"
Old lady Liu rolled her eyes, turned around and grabbed a handful and put it in her pocket: "Okay, I'm going."
After saying that, her calves were shaking tightly, thinking about her all this time, and she was in a hurry.
"Old sister, you're not at home."
Aunt Zhao poked her head out of the house, and when she saw Old Lady Liu, she happily waved a rag in her hand: "Hey, you're here, come in, come in, I thought you would come after the New Year, what's the matter? You're spending the New Year here?"
"Yeah, I'm spending the New Year here with my old lady."
"Not so good, doesn't your son care?"
"All They are already in their thirties, and they still hang around me all day long. What can they achieve? Let them go on their own. "After saying this, Mrs. Liu glanced at Mrs. Zhao across from her and quickly made up for it: "I also find them annoying. It's better to be strong here. I just want to be quiet." Mrs. Zhao covered her chest and listened to the person across from her stabbing her heart again and again. "Sister, you are blessed." It was her son who always made her worry, and it was also because she had no place to be quiet. This sourness in her heart was more sour than the big jar of pickled cabbage in the west room. Mrs. Liu laughed and didn't dare to say anything more provocative, or she would be bored again. She quickly changed the subject: "Tell me quickly, what happened to the Du family recently."
"If you talk about this, I will get excited..." Aunt Zhao slapped her thigh, with a colorful expression on her face.
Chapter 207 Love, Hate, and Resentment
The "Love, Hate, and Resentment" brought back by Old Lady Liu made Liu Qingqing, who was bored at home and rocking in a rocking chair, somewhat addicted.
In this era of scarcity, there was not even a novel.
It was really boring.
At this time, she heard the real-life version, which happened in the front and back yards.
She had to join in this situation.
The next day, when Old Lady Liu visited, she brought Liu Qingqing and Song Xiangyang with her.
It was the first time for Aunt Zhao and Aunt He to see three generations of grandparents and grandchildren visiting and chatting together.
Song Xiangyang has learned to walk unsteadily these days.
In winter, he was dressed thickly, so he didn't need to fall. He put on a knitted hat and played with the grandchildren of Aunt Zhao.
Liu Qingqing greeted them one by one and sat aside, with only one ear exposed.
Occasionally she said, "Really? Oh my God! That's right! It's too much. Who says it's not true?"
She praised the old ladies who contributed resources.
"Did the two sisters of the Du family get anything out of their quarrel today?" Old Lady Liu asked before she even sat down.
"It's been a month, and Du Xiaoju is so naughty. She even snatched my sister's dating partner." Aunt He pouted with disdain.
Aunt Zhao said with a mysterious look on her face: "Du Xiaoju looks smart, but she is actually stupid. You tell me, she is obviously dating my sister, how can a man who can be hooked up with her be a good guy? I think Xiaomei doesn't want to compete with her for the man, she just wants to control them and that's why she is so persistent."
Auntie He leaned over and asked in a low voice: "What are you talking about? What do you know?"
Old Lady Liu interrupted: "It's obvious, I have been eyeing her family's "Auntie He was confused. These two women just kept repeating the same old things: "If you two keep talking like this, I won't talk to you anymore." "Oh, you are so impatient. Let's talk about the matchmaking. It was only her two sisters and the man who were there. How could we know the details so quickly? Du Xiaoju was at fault for this. How could Hu Chaochao tell anyone about it? It must have been Xiaomei who leaked the information." Auntie Zhao spat out a melon seed. Old Lady Liu continued: "Why is Du Xiaomei bald in public? Isn't it to let the neighbors see her? If she didn't tell anyone, the Du family and the man's family could just say that they were looking for Du Xiaoju, and the man's conditions would be set, otherwise how could Du Xiaoju try to get close to him? When the two families reach an agreement, the betrothal gifts and dowry will have to be prepared generously, and then the benefits will be shared by both of them. In the end, it is Du Xiaomei who will suffer. Now it has become a matter under everyone's eyes, and no matter what, Xiaomei must be given some benefits to appease her."
Mrs. Zhao shook her head: "I'm not very smart. If you talk about this, you will be laughed at, and no one can escape."
Mrs. He shook her head: "It's really tricky. In this matter, the man did a good job It's not good, you're only targeting this family? It will be uncomfortable to get married in the future, you might as well just change to someone else, it's not easy to find a young man. "
Old Lady Liu nodded frequently: "I said so too, this matter is embarrassing, what's the point, it's better to just forget it, I and you have the same views."
"Everything is the same, that's called heroes have the same views."
"Yes, yes, yes, all the same."
"I have to talk to old Du when I meet her tomorrow."
"Forget it, there's no need to cause trouble, that old lady is just a superficial person, sooner or later she will make the relationship between the children awkward."
Liu Qingqing listened happily throughout the whole process, gossip and other things were secondary, the conversations of several old ladies were exciting.
Chapter 208 Money Not Spent in Waste
On the 29th day of the 11th lunar month, the three mothers cancelled their visits to their relatives.
Other families are different from them.
The New Year for the whole family is a "battle".
Although there is a "supply and marketing cooperative insider" like Liu Qingqing, the neighbors basically don't have to queue up to buy food and drinks.
But these dishes can't be made in a short time.
Food that is not available on ordinary days will be served on the table on New Year's Eve.
Starting from the 23rd day of the 11th lunar month, some families steamed steamed buns for a sign of "prosperity".
In addition to steamed buns, there are also sticky bean buns, red bean paste buns, and corn flour cakes.
These can be used as New Year gifts to visit relatives.
Liu Qingqing and her mother also started steaming various buns and steamed buns.
Red beans must be cooked fresh for the bean paste.
Old Lady Liu listened to the old lady saying "Red beans grow in the south..." while pressing the bean paste.
It was so sour that her teeth ached.
Wuning's special New Year's Eve dinner, chicken, pork, fish, cabbage, and frozen tofu.
Frozen tofu is not available for sale, you can only buy fresh tofu and then freeze it yourself at home.
You can also exchange soybeans for tofu.
Liu Qingqing guessed that it was probably because the weather here was cold, fresh tofu was easy to freeze, and slowly frozen tofu became a must-have dish.
Chinese cabbage stewed with tofu, and then fried with some meat, it was fragrant.
But she passed on this dish.
There were only three people, and the small one was not included.
Wuning's special large-portion dishes may have to be eaten for several days after they are made.
Liu Qingqing decided that except for the braised fish, all other dishes would be small portions, and a small plate would be enough.
A total of six dishes were made, with the good intention of "six sixes and great luck".
Liu Qingqing really didn't want to eat stewed chicken, so she made spicy chicken.
In addition, Mrs. Liu stewed her specialty, four-happiness meatballs, and stewed spareribs that the old lady liked to eat.
She just couldn't understand, wouldn't the fat meat slices be better than this hard bone stick?
Seeing that she was brooding over the fat meat slices, Liu Qingqing didn't stop her from making it: "Then do you want to eat stewed sauerkraut or stewed cabbage?"
Mrs. Liu happily showed her back teeth: "Sauerkraut, let me stew it, I'm a good stewer."
The last two dishes, one is shredded sweet potato, and the other is garlic vermicelli and cabbage heart, to relieve the greasiness.
Old Lady Liu scoffed at the idea of relieving her nausea. How could such a small amount of meat and vegetables make her sick?
She underestimated herself.
And what about the sweet potato with shreds?
She ate sweet potatoes for half a year, so all the candies were wasted.
She was not proud of this dish, but she didn't say it.
Oh, oh, it's still the same thing. She is not a person without taste.
She stewed the fat slices happily. There was a large table of dishes. How could she like all of them?
In addition to the sweet potatoes, there were five other dishes. They were all delicious dishes!!!
While the old lady was stewing the dishes, Liu Qingqing took out the radio.
"Oh my God!" Old Lady Liu's iron spoon was broken into the pot.
This is really a waste of money. She knows what this family is all about. Just to listen to the noise, she needs to spend that much money. Why not do something else?
What's the point of listening to the noise?
If you want to listen, she can sing. She is very good at singing the movie interludes played by the team.
Liu Qingqing pulled out the antenna and twisted it for a while. She really has never played with this thing before, so she needs to study it.
Old lady Liu didn't care about the pot, squatting on the side to watch her stir.
After a while, "The East is Red, the Sun is Rising..." rang out from the speakers on both sides.
Old lady Liu's eyes were wide open. She stood aside and listened and hummed along. Oh, it's really not a waste of money. It's a good thing.
Chapter 209 Don't Die Before You Die
After the Chinese New Year, the couple has lived in Wuning for more than half a year.
Liu Qingqing is ready to go back to Xiping.
Every now and then, she packs a bag of things and sends them to the post office to mail.
They are basically clothes and daily necessities, so that she can "create something out of nothing" when the time comes.
Feeling that she has sent almost everything, she went around every household to say hello and was ready to leave.
Old Song's hair has turned a lot white recently. Compared with him, Mrs. Song is much better than before the New Year.
Although she can't move yet, she can still vaguely express what she wants to say.
Liu Qingqing was afraid that the old man would be killed by the old lady, so she took out a few pieces of "medicinal snacks" with added ingredients from the food bag she brought over and handed them to Old Song.
No matter what, the old man can't die before the old lady.
"You took so many old things again? I don't need anything here. Hey, put it there, I'll eat it later."
"Dad, these things don't take up much space in my stomach. Although they are snacks, they don't taste good when they are mixed with medicine." He looked like he couldn't help but stare at you.
Old Song laughed: "Okay, eat it now." The daughter-in-law is filial to him, so he can't be ignorant of good and bad.
"Give it to me, I'll take it, you, ah." Mrs. Song turned her head to listen to the movement as soon as the second daughter-in-law entered the room.
The old man was about to turn on the stove, and she was anxious and angry when she heard it on the bed, and kept reminding him that there was a living person in the room.
Old Song was holding the snacks, feeling a little embarrassed. He couldn't eat alone in front of his daughter-in-law, so he smiled innocently: "Well, I guess I want to try it too..."
Liu Qingqing said: "Dad, I'm not unfilial. These things are all medicinal recipes, and are only suitable for regulating normal people's bodies. I have also inquired about my mother's illness. Western medicine says that cerebral infarction compresses the nerves. We dare not use these drugs indiscriminately, otherwise we will hurt people."
Old Song sat on the chair again with a confused look on his face: "Ah, I dare not."
Although Mrs. Song was in the room, the door was open, and the sound from the main room reached her ears very clearly.
She yelled a few words incoherently, and seeing that no one paid attention, she banged the bed twice in anger.
Old Song looked at his second daughter-in-law, who was calmly coaxing the child with a new toy he made, as if he could not hear the noise in the house, and his expression was normal.
His mentality gradually stabilized, and there was no embarrassment. It was not the first time he ate alone.
He stuffed three or two mouthfuls into his mouth, and quickly picked up the teacup and drank a few mouthfuls. Eating alone was a bit choking...
Liu Qingqing waited for him to finish eating, and her heart was much more at ease.
She didn't know much about the people in the Song family, including Old Song, after all, she didn't contact them a few times a year.
If she didn't see it with her own eyes, he might give it to others.
The main purpose of detoxifying the old man is to let him suppress the few people in the Song family.
If this person dies first, the old lady will be kicked around by the old man like a ball.
Even if she can solve the problem with money, she will have to be more careful about spending the money on the old man.
Old Song knew that she was leaving soon, and his eyes were full of reluctance to part with his grandson.
"How are we going to leave? Or take a bull cart?"
Liu Qingqing shook her head: "Let my eldest brother take us back later."
Old Song nodded his head after hearing this, and said nothing more, and began to tease his grandson again.
Since Song Xiangyang's legs and feet became numb, his language system has also been fully developed. Now he can easily grasp simple sentences with a few words, and the word "grandfather" is also very easy to say.
Old Song was very happy.
Chapter 210 Between People
Liu Qingqing had just entered Old Lady Liu's house.
Old Song came over with two large baskets, put them at the door, and then stepped aside.
"Hey, why did you bring so many things?"
"I heard that your eldest son will send his mother and daughter home in a while, and they can just hang on the handlebars of the bicycle. There is no one at home, and I won't go there again. I'm going home first." Old Song said a few simple words, turned around and walked out.
He basically never entered Old Liu's house, except when he sent things to his grandson, he would stand at the door and call out "Old Liu".
Today, Old Liu is not at home, so he should say less.
Those who gossip about their wives in the village can talk a few words even if a male mosquito stands in front of a widow's door.
This matter cannot be argued face to face, even if everyone knows what is going on.
But it is the nature of some people to make up gossip about others behind their backs. Such people can only be changed by being beaten to death.
He was a little worried on the way back. There has been no news about his second son for more than half a year.
The longer time passes, the more people will think about it.
The attitude of the second daughter-in-law does not seem to be very concerned.
Although they already have a son, their life is too distant.
If the couple has no feelings for each other, what will they do if something happens in the future...
When the people walked away, Old Lady Liu flipped over the bamboo strips covering the basket: "Your father-in-law's weaving skills are really good. Look at this lid, it's tightly sewn. What are you carrying???"
Liu Qingqing also came over.
After flipping through the basket, Old Lady Liu felt a little dissatisfied, and her competitive spirit suddenly came up.
She was also ready to get the good stuff and give it back to her daughter.
She didn't hang the bacon and salted fish. These dried goods are not rare.
She can also take dried goods, but not bacon, but she has other things...
Liu Qingqing almost died of laughter, but this could make her angry: "Mom, don't pick it up, I don't need it, and it's not easy to get it from Xiping. I have to mail these things when I go back, and the postage is quite expensive."
Old Lady Liu paused: "Then I'll take them with me when I go back..."
Seeing the old lady laughing like an old hen about to nest, Old Lady Liu slapped her on the shoulder in anger: "Don't laugh, it's really ugly."
This child has never been proud of himself since he was a child.
He only offends himself, and it's because she, as a mother, has a good temper. If it were someone else, she would be beaten up.
Liu Qingqing hiccupped and stopped laughing, soothing him: "Look at you, you are so narrow-minded! You think too much! I am not laughing at you. Wait until my room is cleaned up, and you can go when you have time."
"Hmph, I don't want to go. If I didn't miss my grandson, would I go to see you?"
Liu Qingqing started laughing again and was chased by the old lady all over the room...
Song Xiangyang clapped his hands in excitement and even wanted to join in, but he was too small to join in.
"Your father-in-law is actually a good person." The mother and daughter had enough noise, and continued to sit down and talk.
Liu Qingqing smiled, it was really rare.
At least they can communicate and understand things.
That's enough.
There is no perfect person in this world. If you are not perfect yourself, how can you ask others to be perfect?
People are always strict with others and lenient with themselves.
They are very demanding and critical of others' behavior. But they hope that everyone will tolerate their own improprieties.
